As a farm wife, countless hours were devoted to raising a garden, canning fruits and vegetables, raising chickens, baking and cooking for her family. Her hobbies included solving crossword puzzles, writing letters, knitting, crocheting, and making quilts. She was an avid visitor and shared her sense of humor with family, friends and neighbors.
